This Is The BEST Wire Antenna Hack for Ham Radio and Short Wave Radio.
This is now my favorite wire hack for Ham Radio Wire Antennas. Updated note, I did use the copper fishing line and it’s awesome. Why, because I can use an alligator clip with it and have the reel side next to my efhw.. Copper adds weight.

This trick works with:
CB Radio Dipoles
Ham Radio Dipoles
EFHW,
EFRW
Random Wire
9:1
49:1
64:1
Fishing,
and others if you can get the right lengths.
